About Elke

Bio

I offer online lessons. Due to traffic and time constraints, I do not offer in-person lessons.

My academic degrees are in English (Master's) and German (Bachelor's). Teaching English composition and English as a Second Language are things I enjoy. I've taught at language schools, companies and at the community college level. I relate well to elementary school students and teenagers to assist with writing papers, expanding vocabulary and strengthening reading skills.

I offer online lessons. Due to traffic and time constraints, I do not offer in-person lessons.

My academic degrees are in English (Master's) and German (Bachelor's). Teaching English composition and English as a Second Language are things I enjoy. I've taught at language schools, companies and at the community college level. I relate well to elementary school students and teenagers to assist with writing papers, expanding vocabulary and strengthening reading skills.

Because I've studied German, French and Spanish, I'm a compassionate ESL teacher. I understand the struggles with acquiring fluency. I'm very open to working with students from all countries and backgrounds. Offering practical strategies is my specialty.

If you need proofreading, I have plenty of experience reviewing both academic and business (website, proposals, letters, etc.) documents. I am willing to work with you via email/phone when there are time constraints.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been tutoring a 10 year old for the past few weeks. We work on vocabulary building, reading comprehension, use of past versus present tenses (one of her difficulties) and pronunciation. I have found a lot of strategies to get her to write and participate as much as possible in the lesson, so I feel I'm qualified to tutor elementary school kids now.

Elke is well prepared for each lesson. She really understands my daughter's need and circumstance. then prepares material in advance. My daughter also likes her teaching.

Supportive

Elke has been the best English tutor I've ever had! I've been working with Elke for over two years now and she has given me support and feedback regarding my academic papers. When I couldn't find a friend with sound writing skills, Elke was there to give advice when addressing essay topic's along with feedback regarding grammar issues.
